Market Mechanics Ep 18: Entry Models (SNIPER ENTRIES)

Learn two key entry models—market shift and flip zone—to confidently execute trades with clear setups and timing.

Key Takeaways

Having a clear, repeatable entry model reduces hesitation and improves trade execution confidence.
Entry models must be used in the correct context, aligned with higher timeframe bias and liquidity conditions.
Market shift confirmation is critical before entering trades after pullbacks.
Lower timeframe analysis is only valid after price reaches a defined point of interest on a higher timeframe.
Consistent use of these models can lead to more reliable and mechanical trading results.

What the video covers

Traders often hesitate due to lack of clear entry models and uncertainty about timing and confirmation.
This lesson focuses on two main entry models: the market shift entry model and the flip zone entry model.
Entry models are repeatable price action sequences that confirm when to enter a trade and when to invalidate it.
Successful entries require aligning entry models with higher timeframe bias, points of interest, liquidity conditions, and session context.
Different trading styles (swing, day, scalping) require focus on specific timeframes for bias and entry confirmation.
The flip zone entry model involves identifying market structure shifts from bearish to bullish on lower timeframes after price pulls back to a demand zone.
A market shift is a prerequisite for confirming that a pullback is over and the trend continuation is likely.
Traders should only drop down to lower timeframes to look for entry confirmation once price reaches the medium timeframe point of interest.
Liquidity sweeps and V-shape reactions are key signals within these entry models to validate trade setups.
The lesson emphasizes mechanical, repeatable execution over intellectual understanding alone.

Chapters

What is an entry model in trading?

An entry model is a repeatable sequence of price action that traders wait for before entering a trade, helping to confirm the setup, entry point, and invalidation level.

Why is it important to align entry models with higher timeframe bias?

Entry models only make sense when paired with the right higher timeframe bias, point of interest, liquidity conditions, and session context to ensure the trade aligns with the broader market trend.

When should a trader drop down to a lower timeframe to look for entry confirmation?

A trader should only drop down to a lower timeframe to look for entry confirmation once price reaches the medium timeframe point of interest, such as a demand zone on the 15-minute chart for day traders.

Speaker A

One of the biggest reasons traders hesitate is because they do not have a clear entry model. They see a setup forming, but they're still second-guessing themselves. They're still doubting themselves. They're still hesitating, not sure whether they should actually enter the trade or not. Was that the liquidity sweep? Was that the market shift? Is this actually the real entry, or am I too early or am I too late? And that is exactly what this lesson is going to solve. Right. So, welcome to this lesson of the Market Mechanics Mentorship series. So far, we have talked about order flow, liquidity concepts, supply and demand zones, all of these good old market mechanics concepts. But at the end of the day, understanding the concepts is not enough. You still need to know how to actually enter the trade. With confidence. With conviction. So, in this lesson, I'm going to break down two of my main entry models, which are the market shift entry model and the flip zone entry model. Because the goal is not to understand the market intellectually. The goal is to know what you are waiting for when it is finally time to execute.

Speaker A

At the end of the day, it's not about just understanding the theory, it's about having a repeatable model for execution.

Speaker A

Having something that you can look out for every single time before you enter the trade so that you can get consistent results.

Speaker A

Now, before I break down these different entry models for you guys to see, you must understand that these entry models are not just random chart patterns that you have to memorize on the chart.

Speaker A

These entry models only make sense when they appear in the right context. This means that you need to pair them with the right higher time frame bias.

Speaker A

And they need to be located at the right point of interest. And it needs to happen at the right session with the right liquidity conditions and the right story behind the setup.

Speaker A

The model itself is just the entry trigger. It's just the entry confirmation. It's just the pattern that you are looking out for before you enter the trade. But it is not the reason for the trade.

Speaker A

So you still need to make sure that you build a higher time frame bias, you develop a daily bias, you determine who's in control of price, and then once price gets to your point of interest, then you look for this confirmation itself. All right. So yeah, once again, this is the set of time frames that you should be following based on your trading style. If you're a swing trader, this is the time frame you're going to be following. Day trader, scalper. All right. So pick the trading style that you are specializing in and focus on that set of time frames.

Speaker A

So in this example right here, on the left-hand side, what we have is the higher time frame or the medium time frame.

Speaker A

What we want to see on those time frames itself. And then on the right-hand side, these are the patterns that we want to see happen on the lower time frame.

Speaker A

So once again, these are the confirmation, these are the confluences that we need before we press the buy and sell button.

Speaker A

All right. So all this is is just the confirmation, which means that we need to see this happen first, then we can go down to the lower time frame to look for this.

Speaker A

Now, what is an entry model, right? Like what's the definition of an entry model?

Speaker A

An entry model is a repeatable sequence of price action you wait for before entering a trade.

Speaker A

So it should help you answer what needs to happen first, what confirms the setup, where the entry comes in, and where the invalidation is. Which means if this happens, then this trade idea is no longer valid.

Speaker A

So in this case itself, what we have right here, right? These are the two sort of patterns that ideally you want to look out for. All right, so let's start with the first one, right, which is the flip entry model.

Speaker A

So, but before I dive into the entry model itself, let me just explain what we have over here.

Speaker A

So, over here price went up, pulls back, goes up, pulls back, and then goes up and breaks structure. So, when this happened, we know that the buyers are in control of price, and then this is where we can map this as a swing low and a swing high, right? So, this is the swing range in which we want to focus on.

Speaker A

And in an uptrend just like this, we want to trade with the trend, which means that we want to look for longs.

Speaker A

And ideally, we want to look for longs at some form of demand zone, right? At some form of demand zone where we have a new higher low to be formed, and we want to capture that higher low, and then we want to trade the continuation to the upside just like this. So, this is what we are trying to see.

Speaker A

Okay, so this is our trade bias. Our trade bias is telling us that, all right, we got price bullish right now. I want to look for longs, but I only want to look for longs once price comes down to this demand zone that led to this break of structure right here. And ideally, I also want to see some form of liquidity sweep, right? Because like I said, the market needs the fuel in order for it to drive price up significantly. So, we need that liquidity. So, once again, if you look at the left-hand side right here, price went up, pulls back, and then goes up, right?

Speaker A

So, it created like this minor internal higher low right here. And below every swing low, there is going to be liquidity. There is going to be available liquidity. So, ideally, we want to see price come down, mitigate this demand zone, sweep that liquidity, create a V-shape reaction, and then at this point in time, right, the minute price touches the zone, this is the pattern that we want to see. Either one of these two patterns right here.

Speaker A

Okay, so let's delve deeper into each one. So, the first entry model is the flip entry model. So, if you guys have recalled how to map out your flip zone, it's pretty much the same thing right here. So, you can see in the lower time frame, if you zoom into this price action right here, this leg right here, what you will see is that lower time frame price has shifted bearish creating lower highs, lower lows just to facilitate the pullback.

Speaker A

So, in this case, what we want to see in order for price to give us confirmation that it's going to continue to push to the upside is that we want to see signs that this pullback is over, the internal structure has shifted from bearish to bullish. Which means that we need to have some form of market shift. That's the prerequisite. That's the non-negotiable for each one of these entry models itself, and that is the market shift.

Speaker A

The market shift tells us that internal structure has shifted from bearish to bullish, and the pullback is over, and right now the continuation is going to happen.

Speaker A

So, that's the market shift, right? So, ideally we want to see the market shift happen in the market itself.

Speaker A

So, in this entry model, first thing for us is price comes down, mitigates the point of interest, all right? So, the minute price mitigates the point of interest, this is where you will jump down to the lower time frame. Okay,

Speaker A

which means that if price is in the middle of nowhere just like this, you do not jump down to the lower time frame.

Speaker A

So, if you're a day trader, this is what you want to be seeing on either the 4-hour or the 15-minute time frame.

Speaker A

And then once price touches your 15-minute demand zone, then you jump down to the 5-minute time frame to look for this particular pattern, to look for this entry confluence, entry confirmation, entry model.

Speaker A

Okay, so this is very important, right? Because a lot of you guys are jumping into the lower time frame prematurely, right? You should be only jumping down once price touches your demand zone that is on the 15-minute time frame if you are day trading. Okay?

Speaker A

So, ideally I want to see price pull back to my medium time frame point of interest, the 15-minute demand zone, and when it does, I jump down to the 5-minute to look for either one of these confirmations itself.

Speaker A

Okay, so let's go back to the entry model. So

Speaker A

Okay, so let's delve deeper into each one. So, the first entry model is the flip entry model. So, if you guys have recalled how to map out your flip zone, it's pretty much the same thing right here. So, you can see in the lower time

Speaker A

frame, if you zoom into this price action right here, this leg right here, what you will see is that lower time frame price have shifted bearish creating lower highs, lower lows just to facilitate the pullback.

Speaker A

So, in this case, what we want to see in order for price to give us confirmation that it's going to continue to push to the upside is that we want to see signs that this pullback is over, the internal structure

Speaker A

has shifted from bearish to bullish. Which means that we need to have some form of market shift. That's the prerequisite. That's the non-negotiable for each one of these entry models itself, and that is the market shift.

Speaker A

The market shift tells us that internal structure has shifted from bearish to bullish, and the pullback is over, and right now the continuation is going to happen.

Speaker A

So, that's the market shift, right? So, ideally we want to see the market shift happen in the market itself.

Speaker A

So, in this entry model, first thing for us is price comes down mitigate the point of interest, all right? So, the minute price mitigate the point of interest, this is where you will jump down to the lower time frame. Okay,

Speaker A

which means that if price is in the middle of nowhere just like this, you do not jump down to the lower time frame.

Speaker A

So, if you're a day trader, this is what you want to be seeing on either the 4-hour or the 15-minute time frame.

Speaker A

And then once price touches your 15-minute demand zone, then you jump down to the 5-minute time frame to look for this particular pattern, to look for this entry confluence, entry confirmation, entry model.

Speaker A

Okay, so this is very important, right? Because a lot of you guys are jumping into the lower time frame prematurely, right? You should be only jumping down once price touches your demand zone that is on the 15-minute time frame if you are day trading. Okay?

Speaker A

So, ideally I want to see price pullback to my medium time frame point of interest, the 15-minute demand zone, and when it does, I jump down to the 5-minute to look for either one of these confirmation itself.

Speaker A

Okay, so let's go back to the entry model. So this black box that you can see right here, this is pretty much this medium-term point of interest here.

Speaker A

So you can see the minute price mitigate it, boom, jump down 5-minute, look for this pattern. If the pattern appears in the market, you enter the trade with confidence, with conviction. If the pattern does not appear, then you stay

Speaker A

out the market as simple as that. So the minute price mitigate this zone, ideally the next thing I want to see is price create a market shift just to confirm to me that the structure is indeed shifting bullish, right?

Speaker A

But in this case, what is price going to use in order to create that market shift? Liquidity. It needs that available liquidity. So ideally we want to see that sweep the low that was formed right here. Ideally we want to see them grab the liquidity

Speaker A

that we have over here. Okay, so that has to be swept. And if that gets swept, then now we got the fuel that price need to get the market shift to the upside, to, you know, take back control of price from the sellers.

Speaker A

So in this case, price mitigate a demand zone, 15-minute demand zone, and then it led to a market shift. But before it led to a market shift, it gave us a flip zone. Okay, so remember, what is flip zone? A flip zone

Speaker A

is pretty much a zone that caused the opposing zone to fail. So in this case, price went up, react from this supply zone. If this supply zone were to do its job, price would just continue coming down, take out the last low, creating a

Speaker A

new lower low, lower high, just continuing its bearish dynamic, which means that there's a chance for price to just continue bearish. And if price continue bearish and take out this low, then we got a market shift and the

Speaker A

entire trend has just reversed from bullish to bearish. But if it doesn't, if this low continue holding, then there's still a chance that price will shift bullish.

Speaker A

All right, so that's what will happen if this supply zone were to do its job, but it failed to do its job, right? Because when price actually reacted from this supply zone, it created a failed reaction right here.

Speaker A

Which is just a fancy way of saying that, you know, there was insufficient sell orders in the market for price to continue going down. As a result, the demand has exceeded the supply, the buyers have overwhelmed the sellers, and right now

Speaker A

we are pushing to the upside, leaving us a failed reaction, which means that we can mark this entire thing right here as the flip zone.

Speaker A

So, now, what does this tell us? This tell us that there was so many buyers in the market that they pretty much kicked all the sellers off the market. How do we know that? Well, we got a market shift,

Speaker A

right? Which tell us that there's a shift in structure, shift in order flow, shift in market sentiment.

Speaker A

And not only we do we have a market shift, we also have a flip zone, which tell us that there's just insufficient sell orders for price to continue going down.

Speaker A

So, we pretty much got all the conferences in the world that tell us that the buyers have took back control of price.

Speaker A

And now, all we do is that we wait for price to pull back to the flip zone right here, and then we make our entry.

Speaker A

We enter for our long position the minute price mitigate the flip zone, and then we look to trade the move to the upside. As simple as that.

Speaker A

Okay, as simple as that. That's the flip entry model itself. Now, the next entry model is the market shift entry model, and this one is a very classic, it's pretty much my bread and butter entry model, you know, it

Speaker A

appears quite commonly in the market itself, and it's quite reliable if you use it with the right context. Okay, so, here's a tip. For this market shift entry model to work really, really well, you want to make sure that you wait for

Speaker A

price to sweep as much liquidity as humanly possible. All right, so, same thing right here.

Speaker A

When price mitigate this zone, I usually want to look towards the left to see whether you have swept any liquidity that we have created over here. If we swept that liquidity, then nice, it got a fuel that it need to actually move to

Speaker A

the upside. All right. So, in this case, price mitigate a 15-minute demand zone, got the liquidity, creating a V-shape reaction, telling us that the buyers has took back control of price. Buyers have, you know, gain regain control of the

Speaker A

market. And then right now we are potentially going to shift bullish. All right. So, the minute we got this market shift right here, what can potentially happen is that we are just going to be doing nothing until price pull back to

Speaker A

the demand zone that created that market shift. This is your lower time frame demand zone, right? So, this second black box that you can see right here.

Speaker A

This is your 5-minute demand zone, right? So, on the 5-minute time frame, before you enter for the trade, you want to make sure that you have mapped out a demand zone that created the market shift.

Speaker A

And then just wait for price to pull back, react from this demand zone, and then you look for entries to trade it to the upside. As simple as that.

Speaker A

Right? So, that is the market shift entry model. Now, one thing you have to understand is that a lot of times this could potentially be a false breakout. What I basically mean by that is that sometimes price can

Speaker A

come down here, mitigate this demand zone over here, and then starts going up there and take out the last lower high.

Speaker A

Okay? So, when this actually happen, we actually got a market shift. But, instead of continue going up just like this, as a result price continue going down, taking out this low here.

Speaker A

When this happens, what this is essentially telling us is that there was not enough buyers in the market to sustain this move to the upside.

Speaker A

In fact, this move to the upside is just sort of like a manipulated move that was created by smart money, by the big banks, by the institutions for price to go up there, grab the available liquidity that was above the

Speaker A

lower high, trigger all the stop losses of retail traders who entered for a short position or any other stop orders.

Speaker A

And then now they're going to use the liquidity for price to continue going down even further.

Speaker A

And perhaps even come down here, grab the available liquidity below this swing low right here before causing price to reverse to the upside.

Speaker A

All right, so this is a tip Well, rather this is more of like a warning that I want to give to you guys. When you guys are using this entry model, this is the situations that you will see sometimes.

Speaker A

Sometimes there's just insufficient liquidity for price to move up just like this. As a result, you need to create more liquidity, grab more liquidity before the real move can actually happen.

Speaker A

And if that's the case, what you want to do is to wait for price to create that market shift entry model again. Right, so in this case, when price comes down, pick out this low, this is our internal

Speaker A

break of structure, and this is also where we can expect a liquidity sweep. So the minute price create a V-shape reaction just like this, taking out the last strong lower high, this is where you got a market shift, and same thing,

Speaker A

you just wait for price to pull back to this lower time frame demand zone, and then look for your entry and trade it to the upside.

Speaker A

All right. So those are the entry models itself. One entry model is more centered around like the fair reaction, you know, like pretty much the shift in sentiment, the shift in order flow. The other entry model is more centered around like the

Speaker A

shift in structure. Okay? So both of these entry models, they are designed to stop you from entering too early and to help you wait for the market to reveal more information before you commit.

Speaker A

Because this is a little mistake that a lot of traders tend to make. They see price touch the demand zone, and for a buy.

Speaker A

They don't wait for liquidity sweep, they don't wait for structure shift, they don't wait for fair reaction, they don't wait for any confirmation. They just automatically assume that price is just going to magically go up just because they enter for the big

Speaker A

not really big, but like they just because they enter for the buy position. They think that they are smart money.

Speaker A

When in reality, no, that's not the case. All right, so once again, I can't emphasize this enough, but the context matters so much more than the entry confirmation itself.

Speaker A

A clean-looking entry model means nothing if it's forming in the wrong location, in the wrong part of the range, the premium and discount range, or against the higher time frame story.

Speaker A

A good model in a bad context is still a bad trade. Okay, so it doesn't matter whether you have 10,000 different confluences, right? You got all the stars in the world lighting up for you to enter for this trade, but if

Speaker A

it's paired with the wrong context, located at the wrong location, taken at the within the wrong timing, it's going to fail. All right, so context matters as much as the entry model itself.

Speaker A

And bear in mind that these are just two of the many proven entry models that we actually teach inside my mentorship program, 1% Club, right? So if you're interested to find more find out more of these entry models, you know, get more

Speaker A

weapons in the arsenal, you can check out my mentorship program, link in the description.

Speaker A

With that being said, let's go on to the chart and just try to apply these entry models, right? So first of all, I'm going to show you what the entry model looks like on the chart just so that you

Speaker A

can like get used to seeing it because it's not as simple as, you know, these perfect diagrams all the time, right?

Speaker A

Sometimes it just doesn't look like this. Sometimes price can consolidate a little bit and then start shifting bullish, and if that's the case, if you don't understand what the pattern looks like on the chart, you are just going to

Speaker A

get lost, confused, and you are just not going to be able to spot it.

Speaker A

So in this case itself, what do we have? We got a price comes down, okay, clear as day, very bearish.

Speaker A

How do we know it's bearish? Because price is creating a lower highs and lower lows, lower highs, lower lows.

Speaker A

So, in this case, this is the swing high and this is the swing low. So, right now, our expectation is that if price were to remain bearish, what going to happen next is that price got to maybe come up to this

Speaker A

supply zone, the last supply zone at this last lower high right here, react from me and just continue going down.

Speaker A

But, in this example right here, what we had was that price was actually pulling back.

Speaker A

Okay, you can see this right here, the minute this kind of stick was formed over here.

Speaker A

Clear as day. All right, let me just show you guys right here. All right, you can see the supply zone is doing its job. Price come up here to the 50% of this supply zone, some sell orders step into the market causing

Speaker A

price to push to the downside. All right, so it is doing its job, but whether it's going to finish its job is another thing. All right, let's just continue to see.

Speaker A

Remember, if the sellers were to maintain control of price, what needs to happen is that price need to continue coming down here taking out this previous low, previous weak low, creating a new strong lower high right here. But, if that

Speaker A

doesn't happen, then that's the first sign that tell us that the market is shifting bullish.

Speaker A

It's just the first sign, it's not a it's not a definite sign. All right, so later on price went up, slowly coming up just like this. You can see. And we have this, this is your failed reaction, which tell us that, you know what, maybe

Speaker A

buyers has overpowered supply. But, we cannot confirm for sure yet. All right so in this example, you cannot assume that, "Oh my god, price is going up. I'm just going to enter for a buy right here." Why not?

Speaker A

Right? You got a failed reaction. Why not enter for a long position right here?

Speaker A

Because you haven't gotten a confirmation that the structure is indeed shifting bullish. You haven't gotten a market shift.

Speaker A

So, what can still potentially happen is that price can pull back to the supply zone, goes down, create a field reaction, maybe it's just coming up here to sweep the liquidity above this high, and then just continue crashing down.

Speaker A

All right? Nothing is set in stone yet, since price is still within this range.

Speaker A

It has not taken out this low, has not taken out this high, has not taken out the strong high, has not taken out the weak low. Nothing is set in stone yet.

Speaker A

So, if price were to continue going down, take out this low, then we know that it's bearish. If price were to continue going up, take out this strong high, then we know it's bullish.

Speaker A

All right? So, at this point of time, you shouldn't be doing anything. You should just be staying calm, being very patient, and just waiting to see what happens next. All right? Just observe.

Speaker A

The minute price come up there, and it create a candlestick just like this, where it close above the last lower high, this is where you pretty much got your confirmation that price is indeed shifting bullish. Because this is where

Speaker A

we got a market shift. Okay? The structure has essentially shifted from bearish to bullish. Now, we can expect a new higher low to be formed somewhere around here, and just continue going up. And that's what we are trying

Speaker A

to capture. We're trying to capture this higher low. So, the minute this happens, this is where you can draw two zones. All right?

Speaker A

So, let me just go back in time a little bit. Right here, let me just erase those zones and do it with you guys.

Speaker A

So, in this case, this is the market shift. And you always draw the zone from the extreme. All right? So, this is the extreme swing low, and then this is like the new swing high. So, this is where

Speaker A

you can draw the extreme demand zone, which is entire range right here. If you're using the range method, if you're using the pivot method, you'll be this candlestick right here, this pivot reversal candlestick right here. This is your extreme demand zone.

Speaker A

So, going back to the entry model, if we were to enter at the extreme demand zone, which entry model is it? Well, it's going to be the market shift entry model, which states that you need to be entering upon the mitigation of a lower

Speaker A

time frame point of interest that created the market shift. All right, so that's the extreme demand zone.

Speaker A

And then later on price went up, created a fair reaction right here and then continued going up. So, in this case, there is a fair reaction over here, so we can draw this entire range right here as our

Speaker A

flip zone. Okay, so this is our flip zone. If you were to refine it to the pivot candle, you'll be somewhere around here.

Speaker A

All right, so now we got your flip zone right here and then we also got your extreme zone right here.

Speaker A

So, let's continue to observe what happens next. Price comes down, mitigate this flip zone. If you are using this particular entry model itself, this is where you look for longs and you will enter upon the mitigation of this flip zone itself.

Speaker A

Boom, enter for a buy order right here the minute price reverse at this flip zone. And then you will be able to capture this very nice move to the upside before price continue coming down to the extreme zone. Right, extreme zone

Speaker A

mitigate extreme zone and then push to the upside. Now, here's a mechanical rule that I have in my system.

Speaker A

If something like this occurs, I always enter on the extreme zone rather than the flip zone.

Speaker A

Why? Because in this case, if a flip zone is being formed right here, chances are there's going to be available liquidity being built up below this fair reaction right here.

Speaker A

So, ideally I want to see that get swept and also mitigate this extreme demand zone and then I make my entry from here.

Speaker A

Okay, so this is just a mechanical rule that I have in my system. You can test it out, right? Usually what I've seen is that if there's a flip zone and an extreme zone just like this, price tends to come down to the extreme

Speaker A

zone. Not always, depends on the market condition, depends on the amount of fuel the market gets at the flip zone. But yeah, this is just a simple mechanical rule that I have in my system. Right?

Speaker A

So, that's that. Now, I just wanted to show you this example just to show you guys what the entry model looks like in the market itself. Right? This is what you should expect to see. As long as you

Speaker A

follow the systematic framework, you should be fine. Right? The systematic framework is, you know what? You got to wait for the market shift to happen. You got to wait for the fair reaction. Then you get a flip entry model. Obviously,

Speaker A

after the point of interest mitigation and also the liquidity sweep. And then for the market shift entry model is that you got to wait for the market shift, wait for price to pull back to a point of interest that created the market

Speaker A

shift, then you look for your entry. Right? So, with that being said, let's look at some more examples.

Speaker A

Before I do, let me just fuel with this green tea. If liquidity is the fuel for the market, green tea is the fuel for the soul.

Speaker A

Oh my god, that's deep, man. Oh, oh my god, that's so good, man. Life is good, bro. Life is good, man. Life is good when you're enjoying this Korean green tea that tastes immaculate.

Speaker A

Oh, [sighs] okay, cool. Now, let's take a look at this example right here next.

Speaker A

So, now we are looking at NQ. All right? Once again, market mechanics concept is universal. It works across every single market, every single asset class. It works for futures, works for indices, stocks commodities crypto whatever you are trading that has a chart, it

Speaker A

works. All right? Anything and everything. So, let's take a look at this example here. All right? Let's, you know, go up to our medium time frame. All right? So, in this case, medium time frame, I'm going to be looking at it from the lens

Speaker A

of like a day trader just like this. All right? So, this is how I'm going to be operating.

Speaker A

I'm going to look at the chart of No, maybe should I day trade? Yeah, you know what? Let I just go day trade just to keep things simple. All right?

Speaker A

So, higher time frame, medium time frame, I'm going to be seeing this. Lower time frame, I want to be seeing this.

Speaker A

So, as a day trader, my higher time frame is the 4-hour, my medium time frame is the 15-minute, and my lower time frame is the 5-minute. So, to keep things simple, I'm going to be using the 15-minute time

Speaker A

frame and the 5-minute time frame in this example. 15-minute as my medium time frame, 5-minute as my lower time frame.

Speaker A

So, in this case, we have clearly established the fact that price is bullish. How do we know that? Price went up, pulls back, goes up, right? It's getting higher highs, higher lows. And clear as day, there's a lot of bullish

Speaker A

imbalance, a lot of buying momentum, a lot of buying pressure. Right? So, in this case, we can mark this entire zone up as your demand zone, right? This entire pivot right here.

Speaker A

So, you can also mark this as your swing low and your swing high. All right. So, now, we've done our analysis, we've done our research, we've done our preparation.

Speaker A

What's the next step? The next step is that we develop our trade idea, which means that we want to look for longs. And ideally, we want to look for longs at this demand zone right here.

Speaker A

Right? Once again, you can even go one step even further and map out the premium discount, but there's kind of no use in this case because like there is no demand zone within the premium pricing, right? So, it's very obvious that you need to wait

Speaker A

for price to pull back to this demand right here. I think it's like the only demand here, anyways. Yeah, so this is like the only demand here. There's another very subtle demand right here, right? But because this is such a small little demand, I

Speaker A

wouldn't even consider it. What I would instead do is that I'll mark up this as like a inducement, right? That's available liquidity sitting below this low right here.

Speaker A

Right? So, the next step is to develop a trade idea, and we know that we should be looking for long positions at this demand zone right here.

Speaker A

But right now, price is over here. So, do we do anything? No, we don't do anything, right? We just wait here, play with our fingers, you know, do what you need to do. Just chill until price comes down to our zone.

Speaker A

Boom, you can see the minute price touches the zone just like this, right? It touches it. Boom, this is your wake-up call. Jump down to your lower time frame to look for your entry confluence, to look for your entry

Speaker A

confirmation. So, I jump down to the 5-minute time frame and this is where I'm looking for my confirmation.

Speaker A

All right, so once again, what do we want to see? We want to see price mitigate the point of interest.

Speaker A

Right? The minute price mitigate the point of interest, jump down to the lower time frame. the first step. The next step is that I want to see price sweep some form of liquidity that have been built on the left-hand side during

Speaker A

the continuation phase. So, in this case, when price is going up, it pulls back, goes up, pulls back, and then goes up, it give us a lower high, I mean, a new higher low just like this, which means which means there's available

Speaker A

liquidity being built up below those lows right here. So, ideally, I want to see that low get swept as well, right? So, in this case, that's exactly what's happening right here. Price came down, sweeping the low below this sweeping the liquidity below

Speaker A

this low right here. You can see it creates like a very long wick just like this, and then starts pushing up, right?

Speaker A

We can potentially get a V-shape reaction anytime right now. And in this case, all right?

Speaker A

This is where you'll really be able to see that the internal structure is bearish right now, okay? So, internal structure bearish right here. So, for us to know that the trend is going to shift to bullish, we want to see price take

Speaker A

out the last lower high. All right, so where's the last lower high? The last lower high is probably somewhere around here, okay? This is the last lower high.

Speaker A

We want to see price take that high up. Okay, so in this case, if I want to, you know, get even much more precise entry, this might be for the scalpers out there, I would jump down to the 1-minute

Speaker A

time frame. And if I jump down to the 1-minute time frame, this is where things get a lot more clearer, right? You will see that this is actually the last break of structure, this is also the last break

Speaker A

of structure, which means that this right here it's actually the last lower high. So, if price take out that last lower high, then this is where we got our market shift.

Speaker A

Okay? This is where we got our market shift right here. All right? But, to keep things simple, we just going to stay at a 5-minute time frame for now just to show you the price action over here. The minute we got our

Speaker A

market shift over here, this is where you want to go and identify the lower time frame demand zone that created this market shift. All right? So, in this case, price come all the way down here and then started going

Speaker A

up creating a V-shape reaction after sweeping the liquidity that we have on the left-hand side right here.

Speaker A

So, this right here becomes our extreme demand zone. All right? Which means that after this market shift, we don't want to enter for the position yet. We want to wait for price to pull back to our extreme demand

Speaker A

zone right here. So, we wait. We wait. The minute price pull back to that extreme demand zone, you can execute either a manual buy order, or you can place like a limit or stop order at this price point right

Speaker A

here. And then once price step into that area, you get tapped into the trade by your broker.

Speaker A

Okay? So, in terms of the stop loss, my idea is always place a stop loss at a price point which invalidate the trade ideal. All right? So, in this case, you can either place it below this lower time frame demand zone if you're

Speaker A

conservative, or if you're aggressive, you might want to even place it below this candlestick that you actually enter the trade from.

Speaker A

Once again, up to you. I will advise you to test this out. And then for take profit, to keep it simple and mechanical in this lesson, we're just going to set it at 2R.

Speaker A

All right? So, sure sure enough here, our fast price just go up there and smash our TP. All right? As simple as that.

Speaker A

All right? So, now, that's pretty much how you use the this entry model itself, which is the market shift entry model. It's quite straightforward. You're just waiting for a liquidity sweep, market shift, wait for price to pull back to this demand

Speaker A

zone right here. Now, let's talk about the other entry model, which is the flip entry model.

Speaker A

Because if you jump down to the lower time frame, you will see that there was actually a flip entry model. All right?

Speaker A

This is very interesting. All right, so when I jump down to 1-minute time frame, now I see a few different things. I see that when price was creating this V-shape reaction right here and creating this market shift, there was actually a failed reaction

Speaker A

right here. All right, so in this case, once again, what happened over over here is that price went up, pulls back mitigating this supply over here.

Speaker A

All right, mitigating this supply over here, and we have we got a failed reaction before price goes up, which means that this entire range right here becomes our flip zone.

Speaker A

All right, if you want to even more precise, you can map out this pivot candle right here, and this is our flip zone.

Speaker A

So, when price have mitigated this 15-minute demand zone right here, you jump down to the lower time frame, either the 5-minute or the 1-minute, and then this is where you search for entry model. And I do like I

Speaker A

said, I want to see this liquidity get swept. This liquidity get swept right here, we create a V-shape reaction, this tells us that there's institutional buying intent, right? Price is indeed shifting bullish, and it's further backed up by this market shift right

Speaker A

here, which tells us that buyers has indeed took back control of price. So, yeah, in this case, like let's just go back a little bit over here, price come out there creating this market shift over here.

Speaker A

So, this tells us that the structure is indeed shifting from bearish to bullish. And now, we pretty much got all our criteria, right? We got the liquidity sweep, we got price mitigating this point of interest, we got the failed

Speaker A

reaction being formed, we got this flip zone being formed right here, we got our market shift, and now we just do nothing until price pull back to this flip zone itself.

Speaker A

As simple as that. All right, so you do nothing, do nothing, all right? Maybe you want to place like a limit stop order right here, instead of entering manually, you place it at the edge of the zone, and then you just do nothing until price

Speaker A

comes down here and tap you into the trade. Right, so at this point of time you are tapping into the trade and let's observe what happens next. Okay, so once again you can either place your stop loss below the

Speaker A

zone itself, right? Below the flip zone just like this or below the candlestick in which you enter the trade from.

Speaker A

Right, and then just set a TP at 2R and you can see you will smash it just very fast just like this. Okay, and then price just continue bullish and just continue going up and just absolutely skyrocket.

Speaker A

So that is an example of the flip entry model and also the market shift entry model applied on Nasdaq.

Speaker A

Right? I hope you guys have gotten like kind of used to like just identifying these patterns. If not, don't worry. Now let's take a look at a bearish example.

Speaker A

Right, we have looked at a bunch of bullish examples. Now let's try to take a look at a bearish example.

Speaker A

Okay, so in this case itself, right? This is price on the 15-minute time frame over here.

Speaker A

I think this is price in a consolidation. So this is going to be an interesting one.

Speaker A

Right, so let's just go back in time a little bit right here. Okay, so right now this is the consolidation, but if you zoom in at the most recent price action you will see that we are actually bullish right here. Price goes up, pulls

Speaker A

back, goes up. We are actually bullish. So once again swing highs uh swing low right here.

Speaker A

All right, so right now our expectation is that price is going to remain bullish. So if price comes down, mitigates this demand zone right here, you know, this is where perhaps price is going to shift bullish, right? So we want to look for longs

Speaker A

right here. But in this case, price goes up all the way up here creating your failed reaction, right?

Speaker A

Which pretty much does that, you know what? Maybe price is not shifting bullish yet.

Speaker A

But we cannot confirm until price take out this low, right? So later on price comes down, take out this low right here giving us a market shift.

Speaker A

Okay, so when you get a market shift just like this which confirmed to you that the market has officially shifted bearish, this is where we know for a fact that swing high, swing low. Right now, where can we

Speaker A

expect price to pull back to? Well, in this case, you always draw from the extreme, right? This is the extreme supply zone right here. And is this just an ordinary supply zone? No, it's not because price went up there, pulls back

Speaker A

creating a swing high, generating available liquidity above those highs. Then price went up there, swept that high, and then started coming down right here. So, this right here is actually a liquidity sweep, right? So, this is a supply zone that swept liquidity itself.

Speaker A

And then later on price comes down, pulls back, goes down, right? You can even map this up as an additional supply zone right here.

Speaker A

And then price comes down reacting from this demand zone, failed to do its job creating a fake reaction before going down, which means that this right here is our flip zone.

Speaker A

Okay? This right here is our flip zone. Right? So, let's just observe what price does next, right? Price comes up, mitigate the flip zone, and then go.

Speaker A

Okay, so once again, this is just a variation of what the flip zone entry model looks like in a bearish scenario.

Speaker A

But I want you guys to pay attention to what happened right here. Okay, so over here when price mitigate this flip zone, if you go down to the lower time frame, this is where you should be able to see

Speaker A

some form of entry model itself. All right? The 5-minute, the 1-minute, let's just see what happens.

Speaker A

Price comes down and then just start crashing down like crazy. Okay. So, I'm going to show you this on the 5-minute time frame, right? So, let's say once again, we're approaching this from the lens of a day trader, which

Speaker A

means that the 15-minute time frame is our medium time frame, and the 5-minute or the 1-minute is our lower time frame.

Speaker A

So, over here, 15-minute time frame has confirmed to us that price has shifted bearish. So, we should only be looking for shorts. And where are we looking for shorts? We are looking for shorts either at this flip zone or this supply zone

Speaker A

right here. As simple as that. So, once price step into this point of interest or this one right here or this one right here, then I would jump down to the lower time frame, which is the 5-minute time frame to look for my entry model.

Speaker A

So, if price is still right here, I'm not doing anything. I'm not doing anything. I'm not doing anything. Boom.

Speaker A

Touches this zone. Go down to the lower time frame, the 5-minute time frame. And this is where I'm searching for the entry model itself. And if you look at this flip zone, it's not just an ordinary flip zone. It's a flip zone

Speaker A

that swept liquidity. Because price went up, pulls back, goes up, swept liquidity, and then goes down. So, pay attention to the tiny little details, right? The tiny little details add up in the grand scheme of things.

Speaker A

So, in this case, price pull back to this flip zone that swept liquidity. Mitigates it. Touches it. Cool. Now, I'm interested. Now, I'm seeing where is the market shift going to happen.

Speaker A

Right? Price goes up, pulls back, goes up. Right? This is the last high low, which means that the market shift will only happen if price take out this low here.

Speaker A

Now, observe what happens next. Price continue coming down, creating this market shift. And right now, the minute price create this market shift, our expectation is that price is potentially going to pull back to this supply zone that created this market shift.

Speaker A

And then this is where we can use our market shift entry model, right? Where we look for shorts. The minute price mitigate this zone, then we short it all the way down here.

Speaker A

But observe what happens next. Price comes all the way down here. There was no pullback whatsoever.

Speaker A

So, in this case, what do you do? Well, you don't do anything. All right, so this is where if you want to be very strict, very mechanical with your trading system, you have to be okay with letting these

Speaker A

trades go sometime. Because sometimes, there's just so much liquidity in the market at a specific price point, at a specific location that it does not create a pullback to grab more liquidity.

Speaker A

Right? Because if it needs more liquidity, then obviously after the market shift, it's going to pull back to this supply zone, fill up the remaining sell orders, and then continue dumping.

Speaker A

But there was already enough liquidity right here. Right? That's why price actually came down.

Speaker A

So this is something that we actually teach our students inside the 1% Club, which is aggressive version of the entry model itself. This is a little bit more advanced.

Speaker A

Right? Because you need to make sure that you're not using this entry model in every market condition. You are only using it in high probability scenarios where you enter for a sell position the minute you price actually mitigate this

Speaker A

point of interest. But yeah, I'm not going to delve too deep into that. Right? Not going to confuse you. For now, to be strict and mechanical with your trading system, remember, you want to see a price pull back to your point of interest, then you

Speaker A

look for entry. All right? So let's jump down to the 1-minute time frame to see what happened right here.

Speaker A

To see whether we can actually have any entry over here. Okay. So this is where it gets a little bit nuanced, right? A little bit advanced, like I said.

Speaker A

If you guys are watching this right now, chances are you might be interested in this advanced sort of concepts. So I'm going to show you like how to really get like those precise entries. So in this case over here, we actually did get a

Speaker A

market shift, but it was at a very subtle level. It was at a fractal level.

Speaker A

If you jump down to the 1-minute time frame, then you can see the market shift.

Speaker A

So in this case, price goes up, pulls back creating this bearish candle, and then goes up. Right? So this right here is the last fractal high. Right?

Speaker A

The last fractal low. So if price take out this last fractal low, then this is where we got our fractal market shift. Once again, I don't I don't believe I'm teaching this concept inside this series because this is just

Speaker A

an advanced concept that we teach inside the 1% Club, the mentorship program. But yeah, this is the fractal market shift, which means that this is our extreme supply zone that led to the fractal market shift, and then this is

Speaker A

our flip zone, that led to the fractal market shift itself. And again, see what happens that after the market shift, price pulled back to this flip zone, there was not enough liquidity, right? As a result, price came down, you can see it just did not

Speaker A

continue going down even further. As a result, it pulled back all the way up here to this extreme supply zone, and then go down. And notice what happened before it went down. It swept some liquidity from the fib reaction right

Speaker A

here, right? So, this is the fib reaction, this is the flip zone. It swept the liquidity from the flip zone itself, and then continue going down.

Speaker A

This is why I have a mechanical rule that says that if I have a extreme zone and a flip zone at the same area, I duty I only want to enter for a short position at the extreme zone itself.

Speaker A

Right? So, this is where you enter for the trade. The minute price mitigate the sweep zone, the extreme zone, extreme supply zone, sweep the liquidity from the fib reaction, place a stop loss above this zone itself, or even above

Speaker A

the candlestick. You can see this is where things get really like precise, right? If you place it above the candlestick, you are getting like two pip stop loss. Place it above the zone, this is like four pip stop loss, right?

Speaker A

This is how people get straight to those sniper-like entries itself. This is how my students manage to get funded over and over again, and just get so much payouts, you know, make anywhere from 5K to 10K to 20K to 30K to 50K a

Speaker A

month using these sniper-like entries right here. They place the stop loss above this zone itself, and their target they can target the moon, right? They can target all the way down here. And you will see the trade still play out

Speaker A

perfectly, right? It pretty much play out just just going up very smoothly, all because they know how to trade with sniper-like position.

Speaker A

So, this is the concept which is called sniper entries, which is a lot more advanced. I don't recommend you guys to actually learn this if you're still in the first year of trading. If you're not even profitable at trading, you're much

Speaker A

better off sticking to like whatever I've been teaching you for like the past 15 minutes or so, right? Like I said, this is the advanced version of the entry model itself. We teach this inside the mentorship program. So for now, just

Speaker A

stick to like the basic stuff, right? If you want to learn the advanced stuff, you want to learn about all of the nuances in which you can apply these entry models, all the tips and tricks and the hacks, then yeah, the mentorship

Speaker A

program, that's the right place for you. By the ways, in this case, you can see what happens is that price came down, giving me us an internal break of structure, which further validates this market shift right here, which tells us

Speaker A

that price is indeed bearish. And after this my after this internal structure, where did the price pull back to? Price pull back to this level supply zone right here that swept liquidity. Okay, so this was the new supply zone that swept liquidity itself.

Speaker A

Price mitigated that and then continued collapsing. So this is where advanced students will try to scale in for another position right here and capture the next move to the downside. So now, they not only have one trade running to

Speaker A

TP right? But they have two position running to TP, right? So now, the first trade, you know, they had like a 1:8 risk to reward somewhere around here, right? 1:8 risk to reward. The second trade, they have 1:10 risk to reward. Now they are able

Speaker A

to capture a total of 18 R on the trade. What this essentially means is that if you're risking 1% of your account, you have a chance to actually make 80% of your account, 18% of your account, right? So if you're risking $1,000 a

Speaker A

trade, guess what? If you win these two trades, you have made $18,000. If you're risking 10K on the trade itself, and in this trade, if you won both of these trades, you have made about 180K.

Speaker A

Right 10K yeah 180K. So that's the power of sniper entries, and this is how we are able to capture these insane entries, 1:5 R, 1:8 R, 1:9 R.

Speaker A

So yeah, like I said, this is a little bit more advanced. I wouldn't recommend you guys to even like synthesize this, but you know, I just wanted to share that with you just to give you like more options as well for my fellow traders

Speaker A

who want to take things to the next level. But like I said, these sort of advanced entry models, they don't work all the time. You have to make sure that you are using it in the right market conditions at the right location. Okay,

Speaker A

like this sort of advanced aggressive version of the entry model, we teach our students to use it in very specific market condition. You cannot just be using this in every market condition, right? You have to use it in very

Speaker A

specific market condition at a high probably these zone. You have to take into account the timing, you know, the location and all the other variables before you actually enter for the trade.

Speaker A

But yeah, I don't want to confuse you for now. Just understand that these are the entry models right here.

Speaker A

Your goal is to make sure that you look out for these entry models the minute price mitigate a medium-term frame point of interest, right? Your goal is not to predict first.

Speaker A

Your goal is to react correctly once the model is clear. Once you see the entry model in the charts, then you react accordingly and you enter for the long or the short position. I'll say I'll just end off by saying that

Speaker A

a good entry model is not just about forcing trades, it's about waiting for the market to tell a clear story, then executing with precision.

Speaker A

Waiting for the market to give you the signal, then you enter for the trade itself.

Speaker A

Patience really pays off, right? If you have the patience to just wait for these entry models to appear in the market at the desired point of interest at a medium-term frame point of interest, trust me, you will save yourself a lot of unnecessary

Speaker A

losses and you will be able to make a lot of money. Right? So, with that being said, I hope you guys have enjoyed this lengthy lesson and as always, remember you're just one trade away.
